Effect of surface tension for nanomaterial under normal triangle distribution force

摘要

Consideration the effects of surface tension on the elastic field of solid material has applications in several modern problems in solid mechanics. This paper proposes an application of surface elasticity theory in the analysis of contact problem at nanoscale. The Fourier integral transform method is adopted to derive the fundamental solutions for contact problem with surface tension effects. As a special case, the deformation induced by normal triangle distribution force is discussed in detail. The results indicate some interesting characteristics in nano-mechanics, which are distinctly different from those in classical contact problem.
